UN is in great hands! What an amazing interview! Matthieu, it was a pleasure to hear your story as a collector and in your role guiding the ship at UN. The Freak is amazing, and I love it! Tim, masterclass in interviewing as always🙌
I am very excited where UN is headed. Matthieu actually loves watches, which seems different than many other people in charge of companies. I love the passion and the new direction UN is headed. Great conversation as always. Thank you Tim.
Love to see a leader in the watch industry with a true passion for collecting watches as well! Sounds like UN has some great plans for the future that will be very exciting to see. Great conversation, Tim and Matthieu!
@@the1916companyone of the best and most honest interviews I have heard in a long time. Insightful to hear the business side of things. If any ADs are using UN as a “sacrifice watch” in package deals to get a patek … they should stop because the UN gets dumped subsequently in the secondary market at a massive discount from the MSRP and kiss the brand image and demand.
Excellent interview love hearing Matthieus story. Great to hear about going independent. The Freak was a technological marvel when it came out and I personally like the new updates with the Freak X. And of course Tim as always, excellent interview!
What a great interview. I loved how refreshingly honest and down to earth the ceo was. I’m a big proponent of independent brands and just purchased my first UN watch, and this interview cements my belief in supporting the brand.
I tried to make the most of this opportunity. UN has a lot to prove, and wanted to focus on that. I'll leave the softball questions to the usual suspects in the watch media. Best, Tim
Tim, your analysis really was spot on! I own a JLC Extreme Lab 2, Freak X, and an Urwerk 103.03. I have purchased lots of traditional watches, but love these types of over-engineered models. I guess I am in the demographic!
I am very far from the ability to afford any UN. I do appreciate a brand that makes a STRONG effort to make their design language more accessible. I love that they haven't been polluted by the sub 40mm craze. Complications need to breathe, so to speak. Just watched a video of the upcoming Zenith chronograph full calendar moon phase at 38mm. It looks forced and cramped in my opinion and defeats the purpose of any logical design. Matthieu Haverlan, you and your team are doing amazing work. Mind blowing innovation and designs!
Superb interview. Tim is the David Frost of the watch world. For the first time in many years I've gone to look at the UN website. Perhaps we can have a UN Group watch in the future....how cool would that be!
I didn't want this to be a UN fan-fest or some kind of self serving vendor showcase. UN is coming out of a devastating period for its volume, market share, and resale value. All of that needs to be addressed if you're telling me about turnaround plans. Best, Tim
@@the1916companyexcellent Tim. Now the same questions for GP …? Especially on the resale prices and why we see them brand new at 50% off MSRP on secondary markets in asia.

Tim's comment "a watch isn't a money maker...a better stored value...basis of community, fun, wearable..." PERFECTLY said
I try to live by this.

Amazing brand, wonderful, informative video, and Ludwig is back!
Great job Tim! Asking the tough questions

@@the1916companywatchreviewswas especially interesting to hear his response about what happens to the warches they buy back.
awesome 👏🏻
Loved this!!! I feel like you guys read my mind when I saw this video was released!!
Superb content as always Tim!
I love the stories about Nardin, but not about the freak. Let’s go vintage talk!!
I love the Freak. I wish they made a less expensive model that had more DNA of the original (the FreakX is ok… but a no crown version please).
This guy is pure class. Really excited to see what the future holds for the Freak. Gotta start saving those dollars though!
*absolutely fantastic interview, masterclass, and what a great announcement at the end*
*continued successes Tim and Team*
As a creative piece - it’s fantastic, truly great to see something new in terms of innovation, as I jewellery piece it also looks mostly incredible
Excellent interview, Tim. Your questions are spot on. Love the brand.

I'm certainly a UN fanboy, that was a great interview
I know I'll never be able to afford a Freak, but this interview is very insightful, informative and well-executed.

Very nice interview. I find UN an honest brand. Nice to see them in the right direction. Cheers.

great interview. 🎖🥇🎖
Looking forward to the new freak. 🤤
In love with my first UN Freak S Lava. Gets noticed more than any Rolex, AP , or Patek that I wear.
Tim is an outstanding interrogative interviewer, among other skills.
Thank you for this interview.
damn Tim, you asked some real questions.

@@the1916companyexcellent Tim. Now the same questions for GP …?

Amazing interview, Tim.
Any possibility of Patrick Pruniaux coming on? Would love to hear their take and future of GP…
Very interesting…great interview as usual…would like to see an interview with a leader from GP!
Me too
Same
Watch porn of such magnitude, it should be banned! That's a compliment 😘 THANK YOU TIM!
UN the most underrated brand in the game. So happy to own a freak X will be taking it to the grave
hope he let you film the freak s 🤞🏻
Freak line is cool now, but the Marine line needs a total rework or just get rid of it totally.
wonderful heritage but more honesty would be appreciated
Until I get very rich the Freak S is my grail
Think the guy could buy a shirt that fits?
Getting you hot under the collar eh?
